-AJ- Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I'd prefer to keep one of Tanev or Edler. I don't see the necessity to trade them both, at least not now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually a retool, where the roster is turned over. JB has brought in a bunch of 24 - 31 year old players, who (he hoped) could compete for the playoffs, and support the Twins. The tear down rebuild will begin when the Twins are gone in 2018 Well sort of, Benning wanted 22-24 year olds to fill out the gap range that Gillis failed to draft. This was to develop the next core after the sedins rather than waiting for 4-5 years for these drafted players to develop into a system that would have literally nothing to build around or integrate into. You can argue if this is the right way or wrong way to rebuild. Erickson and Sutter were other stories, I like Sutter though, he's still got game for a while. Erickson starting to look less appealing. Also even if JB / TL had the standpoint of trying to stay competitive that doesn't mean that they can't trade pending UFAs or move contracts out for futures. Nor does it mean they can't shift their focus after a dismal season when they are realistically out of the playoff picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 What we want and what the Canucks will do are completely different things. I am hoping they trade either Elder or Tanev, plus, for a young 1LW. The only top 6 calibre LWers they have are Eriksson, Baertschi and maybe Granlund. Not good enough moving forward. Seeing as Markstrom isn't getting many starts, I believe Miller will be re-signed. Burrows traded to MTL at the TDL for a 3rd. Hope they sign Horvat and Tryamkin long term.

And that's not cuz it's a bad trade but because I don't like duchene. And in the expansion draft we could protect Sbisa and guddy and who ever else since Tanev and Edler are gone btw. I'm my opinion Edler Hansen Burrows Miller And Tanev could be traded. Edler Hansen Tanev would get us a great return possibly picks and prospects. It would defiantly help our team. I think we need to fire willie and hire Claude Julian too since he'd fit just like a puzzle piece But thanks for addressing our skill level, which has been non existent for three years, but I guess people get desensitized to it.

Do you really believe that JB thinks the Sedins still have it...He more than anyone knows that this team cannot compete with the Sedins in a prominent role with this club. So no, this is not a retool, it's a wait and let the Sedins leave on their own terms, then we will compete, but until then let's capture serious skill with the rest of the old core(Edler, Tanev a couple of first from a weak draft, and a good young player in Granlund).

What? I can't tell if that's a jab or not. If it is I just wanna let u know that our return for edler Hansen and Tanev could bring in skill. 1st rounders could draft good young players and prospects can be skilled guys. I don't see the point in trading for overrated duchene and landeskog. Both are mid 20's. Of rather have guys between 18-22 range rn. Plus u can sign Zach Aston-Reese and get better. Possible trades Edler to washington for 1st and bowie Tanev to Tampa for 1st and howden Hansen to L.A. for 1st Burrows to Montreal for third There u go we have 4 firsts which could be used to get mittelstadt Hague Rasmussen and comtois Total potential earnings could be 3 centres mittelstadt and Rasmussen howden 2 wingers comtois Aston-Reese 2 Defenders Hague bowie Pretty solid ehhhhh Future would look brighter than if we stayed the same wouldn't it.

Sbriggs Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 4 hours ago, captaincowbasher said: Fortunately, the overhaul is almost finished. It started a couple of years ago with the Kesler trade, and will be complete when the Sedin's have retired. The hockey that we've witnessed between these points is nothing short of just plain terrible. Our team is devoid of any real superstar talent/skill or physical presence. Benning must address the skill first, by using the chips he has; grit and physical presence is much easier to add. The first thing that has to happen is a team needs to covet our Swiss army knife(Jannik Hansen), this guy has consistently been our best forward over the past few years, he scores, hits, kills powerplays, fights, fits the speed game that Pitt plays and is the consummate professional. I can seriously see the Penguins come asking for him. What a great pickup for the Penguins come playoff time, and it would only cost them their late first round pick. Both teams win... With that said, To Denver, Chris Tanev + 2017 1st(acquired from Pitt) + Granlund(his value has never been higher) for M.Duchene as far as cap this deal is almost a wash, and the Av's are happy as this meets their criteria for the asking price for Duchene; which is a top pair defender, 1st round pick and a good young player or good prospect. To Tampa Bay, Edler + 2017 1st for J.Drouin as far as cap, Canucks win and Tampa has about 7 mil to play with. Canucks appear to be giving up a lot; first pair defender and a very high first round pick, but consider that this years draft is weak and with the Canucks luck the lottery for draft order would fall to unfavorable results...But to get a potential superstar we need to give up this sort of bounty. I know this leaves us weaker on defence and without any first rounders in this years draft(remember its a weak draft) but look at our forward lineup and we dealt from an area that we are strong and potentially could be stronger with Juolevi coming. New look lines, DROUIN HORVAT DUSCHENE very speedy, talented and legit first line in this league BAERTSCHI SUTTER ERIKSSON good second line D.SEDIN H.SEDIN BURROWS good third line, we really need the Sedin's to hang them up, or request a trade. SKILLE CHAPUT MEGNA solid bottom trio HUTTON GUDBRANSON TRYAMKIN STECHER SBISA BEIGA we loose Sbisa in the expansion draft, but Juolevi will more than fill that spot next year. I also think Brisebois might be ready for a third line defence pairing. We might have one of the best young defence core in the league. With Boesser coming, I see him slotting into the second line RW spot, which moves Eriksson to the third line. I also think to make the Canuck team a true three line team, they should split the Sedins next year( if they are still here) so Henrik can distribute the puck to Baertschi and Boesser and Sutter can play between Daniel and Eriksson. When the Sedins are retired at the end of the 2017/2018 season, we focus on adding 2 power forwards, at which point Virtanen might be ready and we'll really only need one. Next years line up, DROUIN HORVAT DUSCHENE BAERTSCHI H.SEDIN BOESSER D.SEDIN SUTTER ERIKSSON SKILLE GAUNCE MEGNA HUTTON STECHER TRYAMKIN SUBBAN JUOLEVI GUBRANSON Thoughts... Ya ummmm, can't do that. No way we loose both Edler and Tanev, we can only afford to loose one especially if we loose Sbisa to expansion. We can't leave our defence that young with out a legit veteran to guide our young guys. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orcasgonewild Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I think benning opened a vein when we got stecher. Some one who was instantly ready to jump into the nhl. I think we should go after college free agents Zach Aston-Reese and Daniel brickley. Both have potential to step right into our lineup and make an impact. If we do no deadline deals I at least wanna see these players signed. Brickley is a defender and has more scoring potential than stecher with 24 points in 22 games and he's just 21. Aston Reese is 22 And has 51 points in 28 games. GET IT DONE JIMMY MA BOY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
